>>7176 (OP) First thing's first, what should the dimensions of the card be? I'm thinking of picrel. Some suggestions for the background might also be nice.

>>7177 >background I can dump some backgrounds I've found over the years from my Christmas folder.

>>7184 I think this one's nice. Here. I upscaled it to a higher resolution.

>>7189 I like the comfy, warm, and lively feeling this background gives, we should use this one. I'll keep an eye out for images that both fit the festive theme and represent /vb/'s identity. Also, other Christmas cards have some sort of section that features things that have died that past year, such as people or video games that have flopped. We should include something similar.

>>7191 we could put the flops behind the windows and dead people on photo frames

oh right, we have a christmas thread

love christmas

>>7192 Yeah I like that idea.

Once we have a completed /vb/ Christmas card, it would be neat if we made a short video version that included Christmas music. We could all agree on/vote for a song and choose the best part of it. If we want, we could even make a gif version of the card to go with the music, something simple like snowflakes falling outside the windows in the background, or a fire moving in the fireplace. It wouldn't have to be big, maybe 15-30 seconds depending on the song.

So, Skype is being discontinued this upcoming May, and since it was such a big part of many people's vidya experiences in the past, it would make for a good inclusion for the Christmas card. It isn't a person, but it's "death" is still significant. I put together a simple picture frame, like a memorial to it, that can go on the mantle. I also added a little flower in a vase to further emphasize the point of the photo. If some other anon wants to do it a bit differently or place it somewhere else, go right ahead.

Safe to say that AssCreed Shadows should be included somehow. Maybe a trash can outside with a whole stack of the game inside of it?

>>7935 We'd probably have to get rid of a section of the windows or redraw the windows slightly, otherwise no one's gonna see it. If I wasn't loaded with shit right now I'd contribute more but it'll have to wait.

>>7936 >We'd probably have to get rid of a section of the windows or redraw the windows slightly True, maybe redrawing the windows so that they only show some snow outside, instead of the deck and those trees, would allow for easier editing in of things later on.

>>7981 I'll try my hand at that. I'm pretty good at editing. But not tonight I need sleep.

>>8047 Thanks in advance, any attempt is appreciated, though I am sure it will turn out great. Have a nice rest!

>>8052 Well it's a little annoying but I had to cut it into two parts due to upload file limits.

Someone just piece it together. It'll get smaller once it's converted back to .jpg anyway.

>>8060 >>8061 Or I guess I could have just used litterbox. Expires in 3 days. https://litter.catbox.moe/uyect8.png

May can't come soon enough. Goddammit. I hate my job.

>>8060 >>8061 >>8356 Thanks for taking the time to do this, it will be a lot easier to edit things this way. We'll have to choose a background for outside the windows, maybe some sort of basic winter scene? Just some snow? That way we have space to put whatever things come to mind.

>>8443 No problem. Please upload the pic. It's litterbox and not catbox btw so it's temporary. >We'll have to choose a background for outside the windows, maybe some sort of basic winter scene? Just some snow? Could be anything. I would go for some snowy scene personally but it's up to everyone. If you want to get really fancy you can even do an animated version with a layer of falling snow in front of the outside scene.

>>8459 I will upload it eventually, just having a bit of trouble, uploads seem to be really slow right now.

>>9200 I'll post some possible outside backgrounds.

Just some possibilities I found in my Christmas folders.

Some of the others posted earlier this year might work too.

Safety bump.

BO pin this already.

>>9816 The 5th pic here >>9817 Or the first pic here might be good options.

>>24768 Let's see.

I tried to clean up the windows a bit to remove the glare.

Also, I wanted to draw a Phoebe. Where should I put her?

Finally, does the phrase "summer christmas" bring any interesting ideas to mind?

>>27433 Looks even better now, thanks for doing this. >>27434 Thanks in advance for adding her! It's a tough choice, any of them would be cute. I think C would be good. Maybe B would be by second choice. >>27435 First thing that comes to mind is celebrating Christmas 6 months early in a tropical area or on the beach. Or maybe Christmas in Australia where it is hot on December 25th.

>>27435 I think of places like Christmas in Hawaii or Austrailia like this anon mentioned >>27456 , where people go out and eat on the BBQ I also think about Christmas in July https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gm1vY7HRgSw

>>27456 >>27492 Thanks. I'll try to do something with that. Here's a placeholder for now (don't use this, just use the blank one posted earlier). I'll draw her in once the card is just about done.

>>27456 I know down in Rooland there's a a summer blooming tree that's locally known as the Christmas tree. It looks like a free standing tree but it's actually a giant mistletoe. I think it parasitises all the grass around it.

I feel like we need to make a running list of vidya related things that's happened so far this year for possible inclusion. Things that are specifically related to this site and to /vb/ specifically. We should also add Vibri somewhere. >>27683 >>27456 I always think of this Christmas ad for Corona. >>27683 Sometime after posting this I remembered that there is an actual more literal parasitic "Christmas tree". Not from Australia though.

>>27743 Let's build it then >sonic unleashed got a static recomp, can now play it on pc >switch 2 release and announcement >palworld had a new april fools thing >CHICKEN JOCKEY >4chan goes kaput, subsequent refugee crisis on 8chan >bunch of genAI stuff I guess? >telegram cat girl and horny dog thing that was popular? i literally don't remember anything else Characters to include >vi bee >phoebe >vibri >cerise from vividlope? >vivian >erin >gilda any more suggestions?

>>27856 >Rouge is FLAT

>>27856 Also >Cram the Rabbit >>27887 RIP those huge batknockers.

>>27887 What a pity I guess, I mean considering sonicspergs always been bitching and moaning over petty shit and now there's a great divide with degenerates and dykes on whether or not the female vermin should be whored or being love interests.

>>27946 It's not about if all the female characters should be whores. It's Rouge specifically. It's her whole character. Removing that element leaves nothing left. Amy shouldn't be a whore, she should be a love interest. But she isn't that either, because SJWs also took that away from us, because girls aren't allowed to like boys anymore.

>>27853 >danielle

>>27853 >Deltarune "deflowering" scene

>>28508 Noelle definitely fits on a vidya Christmas card.

>>27853 We can put in a mention for Stop Killing Games

>>27683 >>27743 I tried drawing in the plants in a bonzai-like fashion. I'll see how I can fit in a palm tree in there without looking too awkward or taking up too much space.

>>28917 Anon that's really neat and it's probably the first time in history that a Parasitaxus has been used in a Christmas setting in any context. The little bonsai mistletoe is a great touch too.

>>28917 Also I can't decide which one I like better, blurred or unblurred.

>>28944 I think the blurred version would work a little better. It helps the plants blend in with the background, though they still stand out and can be admired.

>>28917 I hope you can find a way to add the Corona palm tree. I think it'll look great.
